First nuclear fission power plant2/28/2024 ![]() and British navies rely on direct steam turbine propulsion, while French and Chinese ships use the turbine to generate electricity for propulsion ( turbo-electric transmission). In another form of drive system, the turbine turns an electrical generator, and the electric power produced is fed to one or more drive motors for the vessel's propellers. The output shaft of the turbine may be connected to a gearbox to reduce rotation speed, then a shaft connects to the vessel's propellers. There may be many stages of rotating blades and fixed guide vanes. In the turbine, the steam expands and reduces its pressure as it imparts energy to the rotating blades of the turbine. Any water lost in the process can be made up by desalinated sea water added to the steam generator feed water. The water is pumped back to the steam generator and continues the cycle. Spent steam at low pressure runs through a condenser cooled by seawater and returns to liquid form. That water is converted to steam and passes through steam driers on its way to the steam turbine. The hot water from the reactor heats a separate water circuit in the steam generator. Water is circulated by pumps at lower power levels, reactors designed for submarines may rely on natural circulation of the water to reduce noise generated by the pumps. Any radioactive contamination in the primary water is confined. This circuit operates at a temperature of around 250 to 300 ☌ (482 to 572 ☏). A primary water circuit transfers heat generated from nuclear fission in the fuel to a steam generator this water is kept under pressure so it does not boil. Most naval nuclear reactors are of the pressurized water type, with the exception of a few attempts at using liquid sodium-cooled reactors. Power plants Basic operation of naval ship or submarine The low fuel cost is offset by high operating costs and investment in infrastructure however, so nearly all nuclear-powered vessels are military. All the fuel is contained within the nuclear reactor, so no cargo or supplies space is taken up by fuel, nor is space taken up by exhaust stacks or combustion air intakes. ![]() Ĭompared to oil- or coal-fuelled ships, nuclear propulsion offers the advantage of very long intervals of operation before refueling. A small number of experimental civil nuclear ships have been built. Nuclear propulsion is used primarily within naval warships such as nuclear submarines and supercarriers. The power plant heats water to produce steam for a turbine used to turn the ship's propeller through a gearbox or through an electric generator and motor. Nuclear marine propulsion is propulsion of a ship or submarine with heat provided by a nuclear reactor. Propulsion system for marine vessels utilizing a nuclear powerplant When the nuclear-powered Arktika class 50 Let Pobedy was put into service in 2007, it became the world's largest icebreaker.

People are starting to realize that email is a vector for SPAM, surveillance capitalism, identity theft, and more (Mayer et al., 2021). It is imperative that companies recognize that people are starting to wake up and take back control of their personal data & identity (Langer et al., 2021). The age of the connected, sovereign aware, connected individual is nigh. Get enough hard bounces, 2% of all sends on a monthly basis, there is a potential for your emails to end in the junk folder (White, 2021). For example, an email sent to a blocked alias email is considered a hard-bounce by ESPs. ![]() But is also, if and when a critical mass of people choose to block traffic coming to an email alias rather than unsubscribing to to the list, the company’s email reputation scores can be hurt. It impacts a businesses ability to know and track the people they communicate with, sure. People’s use of alias emails (like Anon Andy, Mailinator, EmailOnDeck, Pocket Geek ID, or even Apple’s Hide My Email) impacts business.

Sabaki ball2/28/2024 ![]() We defied our critics and found a player base that understood how to rethink the way sports can be played. ![]() ![]() They couldn’t see the whole picture.įrom the very beginning, Sabakiball stayed the course of non-tradition. To play Sabakiball like a traditional sport makes the game play less effective! So when our early critics found they could not dominate the play with their usual sports skills and strategies, they were discouraged and therefore critical of this new sport. This is a different concept, and many long-time sports players could not see how this would work. (By the way, our experience has been that the “weaker” players came in all types). What our early critics did not realize is that Sabakiball purposefully made the rules of play so that having weaker players on the team could be an advantage. They felt that it would not be competitive enough if just anyone could play on a team. When Sabakiball was being developed, the fact that all teams had to be co-ed turned some people off from playing. Old issues and new issues alike, we are all working through them together. Written rants and framed video clips are not necessarily representative of the entire picture of what is going on in the world and how people feel. Speaking (or writing) TO people is not the same as conversing WITH people. Anyone who has seen or written a play knows the approach to a monologue is very different from a dialogue. Strong words are written with no consideration of the impact on the readers. With a lot less face-to-face interaction in the last few months, communication has become much more frequent and much more detached. Our computers and phones have become our window to the outside world. Then we check in with social media to see what people are saying about the news. We watch the news and read articles on the internet. Staying at home has brought a new way of looking at the world around us. French country decor bathrooms2/28/2024 ![]() After much consideration, and being told that it couldn’t be done, (which made me even more determined) I decided to use the current fixture and to redesign it. Since it was impossible to remove the old fan without attic access, if we still wanted an exhaust fan that is, then we would have to figure some way to make it work. ![]() I visioned a small chandelier instead and although there are many very cute lighting fixtures on the market I found nothing that included an exhaust fan. The fan/light combo fixture was one the ugliest things I’ve seen. We were presented with some problems, however, like an old exhaust fan with no attic access. It was likely installed some 30 years ago. The second task was to remove an ugly, contractor grade, exhaust fan/light combo with its yellowed plastic cover. Big and messy job! I had to mud, sand and caulk a bit once the popcorn was down. Starting from the top down, the first task was to scrape the popcorn ceiling. I wanted a light and bright French Country look.īelow: The flattest door I’ve ever seen and the most boring. ![]() It’s small so these are the best shots I could get.Ībove: This is the hole in the ceiling where the white (yellowed) plastic, very dated, light/fan combo fixture was.īelow: The stained trim didn’t match what my mind’s eye was seeing and made the small bathroom look even smaller. Here are some photos of the bathroom before. This particular post is to show you how easy it is to make small changes for a big effect. The bathroom I have claimed is also the “guest room bath” so I make an effort to keep it looking especially nice and neat. Because this cottage has only two small bathrooms, I have adopted one, and my husband, the other. Now that we’ve lived here for the better part of 2 years, after settling in and enjoying the feel of the cottage, after laying a new sidewalk to the front door and creating garden beds which is still a work in the making, my latest project has been to redecorate one of our two bathrooms. When I’m in my home, whether it’s real or perceived, I must have the feeling of quietude and seclusion with an abundance of fresh and natural light. To me, these feelings are accomplished with light filled rooms, lots of windows and a beautiful view. ![]() I’ve never been one to shy away from hard work, especially if that work means that my space, my home, will bring joy to my senses, pleasure to my eyes, peace to my soul, and warmth to my heart. Being organized gives me pleasure and the feeling of a life well lived. I’ve always had this energy, this need to make my immediate space more organized and more gratifyingly efficient. I always need to be doing something constructive – even when riding in the car or sitting in front of the television, I am usually multitasking. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people who can’t sit still. Aside from the obvious tweaks in a newly purchased home, or updates in an older one, living within it’s walls for some time offers a whole new perspective on the real style and feeling of a home and offers you a better vision of what you’d like the outcome to be. One thing I’ve learned is that living in a place for a while gives a person a better idea of what is needed (or wanted) as opposed to moving in and making immediate changes. The ongoing process of making our new house in Tennessee a place to call home, is exciting but the work involved can be exhausting. Slim4life synergy drink2/28/2024 ![]() I wasn’t satisfied with this price so I then began searching for the ingredients. The herbal metabolizers can be found for $99-$130. The bars are Proti brand and can be purchased from for $10.90 per box instead of $16, but my guess is any low carb low sugar protein bar would do the job. I googled “herbal metabolizers” and “carb blockers” and found that slim4life and slimgenics both are distributors of the supplements and snacks, but everything is made by other companies. But it is expensive! So, I began researching similar supplements, that would be more affordable. I want to continue doing slim4life until I reach my goal weight of 150 lbs. Then you go back to business as usual and drink anywhere from 80 to 100 oz. ![]() Of water, day two drink 88 oz., day three drink 96 oz. This means you eat according to your normal plan, on day one drink exactly 80 oz. She said you deal with going off your plan by omitting one fruit and one starch serving from your diet for the next two days, then you do a water flush for the next 3 days. Cheese! Pork! Carbs! Fat! And so much sodium! So I drank a ton of water, went for a 3.5 mile walk even though it was 90 degrees, and emailed my counselor to ask what I should do. So I felt bad about it, started panicking about what kind of damage that would do. Then my friend came over to watch my son while I worked and I came home from work stressed and starving and she had ordered pizza… Needless to say, I indulged. ![]() Up until Thursday night I had followed the plan pretty much precisely. My current weight is 209.6! I know I lost just over 4 pounds this week. (not including 3 day prep) my starting weight was over 220. I have been doing slim4life for 2 weeks now.
